Impact Analysis of Non-Tariff Measures (NTM) on Indonesian Tuna Exports to Major Destination Countries

Currently, International trade is hampered in both tariff and non-tariff measures. Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) are likely applied by some major trading countries. The NTM policy mostly applies Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). Tuna commodity is one of Indonesian potential exports facing NTM barriers. Indonesia has exported its tuna to a number of major destinations including China, Japan, Thailand, United States, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam. This study aims to analyze the export performance and NTMs impact on the Indonesian tuna export commodity. The methods used included descriptive analysis through inventory approach (coverage ratio and frequency index) and regression analysis of gravity model panel data from the period of 2009 – 2013 with the cross sectional data of the six major destination countries. The results show that United States as a country imposing the highest NTMs and frozen tuna is the most affected commodity group by NTM effects. The gravity model estimation results show that SPS and TBT affect tuna fish exports with positive coefficients of 0.011 and 0.015 respectively

Konvergensi Harga Pangan Pokok Antar Wilayah di Indonesia

In Indonesia, the increase in food prices usually results in the rise in the inflation rate. To cope with this problem, a better food distribution among regionsis absolutely required. This study aimed to describe the dynamics of food prices, to test the convergence level of food prices and to analyze the factors that influence the changes in food prices between regions in Indonesia. The data used were obtained from the Central Agency of Statistics and the Ministry of Agriculture from 2002 to 2010. The method used was analysis of dynamic panel data (First Difference-Generalized Methode Moment/FD-GMM). The results of the study showed that all commodities of food prices were convergent, sugar at the highest level and rice at the lowest, while the factors that influence changes in food prices were production rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population

Indonesian's consumption of food derived from animal products is relatively low. In general, the consumption behaviour depends not only on prices and total expenditure, but also on some household characteristics. Households with different characteristics have different spending patterns reflecting the level of welfare of each household.

The Impact of Policy Application on Milk Industry to The Social Welfare

An assessment to identify and qualify the impact of policy application on milk industry in Indonesia has been carried out to estimate the extent of profit and loss obtained by milk industry producers, including the government . The development of milk industry in Indonesia in the last decade has been very significant supported by the government. Application policy of BUSEP ratio since 1982 was very powerful in order to give protection to dairy farmers, this consider a non-tariff barrier policy. Nevertheless, since the Gol has signed the memorandum of understanding with IMF in January 1988 of the elimination for nontariff barrier policy, the application of BUSEP ratio has also denied. Through comparative static analysis, it could be shown that the application of BUSEP ratio decreased economic development due to decreasing consumer surplus, increasing producer surplus and decreasing net social welfare. Fiscal policy such as application of import tariff may also decrease the economic development, however it could decrease the import volume, with the assumption of unchanged export volume, it results trade surplus. The application of 5% import tariff of milk may decrease consumer surplus, increase producer surplus and government revenue from tax along with its dead weight loss. Application of import tariff from the government has resulted decreasing net social welfare. Key words: Policy analysis, milk industry, producer and consumer surplus, and social welfar
